The worst part of this Push Notification development will be making options available:

1. when to notify: DMs? zaps? follows only? lists? individual mute per author per event kind?

2. how to notify: sound, vibration, group summaries or individual notes, exposing data or not exposing data, etc.

I will be developing options UI forever... :(

Let's hope other devs join the effort. #BountiesNeeded

I’m guessing they will need rate limiting too - in case something blows up. Perhaps someone’s DMs go wild for example - maybe that’s ok for a back and forth, however not ok for a DM flood attack.

Strangely the rate limit may need to be dynamic per pubkey.

However, what is your event firehouse for notifications? A relay aggregation service? Targeting only a pubkey’s 10002 read relays? How do their private/encrypted relays work? It’s all very complex.

Personally I prefer async comms - and disable notifications.

I learned my lesson when my phone started to ping every second when a tweet blew up: you don't need to get notified on everything.
